4" vs. 6" vs. 8" wheels. Advantages?

I've searched and I really didn't find any discussions that directly answer these questions. If you know of a posting or white paper that addresses these questions, can you please post a link to it, otherwise, what are your thoughts, and why?
I've read through several white papers, but none seem to address these specific questions.

If gearing was appropriately matched, what are the advantages and disadvantages of the various diameters of wheels? Does the width of the wheel really matter that much?

EDIT: This is as much for general consumption as it is for my education.
